Chapter 9591 Is it free?
"My mother-in-law, your feet are precious!"
"Mother-in-law, why are you here? Come and sit in the room!"
"Mom, so What are you doing here? Don't scare me!"
Compared with the surprise and enthusiasm of Li Wei and his son, Xiu Xiu came out of the kitchen. The first reaction when Cao Bamei appeared in front of her was to be nervous.
Why are you nervous?
Let’s put it this way, because the timing of Cao Bamei’s appearance is abnormal, who’s visiting relative comes at the same time as Gastrodia Maliang?
This is like modern society. You and your parents will talk on the phone at a certain fixed time. Suddenly, one day, you will receive a call from home at another time, and the ringing tone will become faster and faster. Sometimes, you will subconsciously feel nervous.
The most fearful thing is that when the phone is connected, the anxious and frightened voices of family members are heard on the other end: "...Son, are you busy? Let me tell you something, don't be afraid..."
To be honest, that’s really scary!
So at this moment, Xiu Xiu saw Cao Bamei appear, and Cao Bamei was panting as she walked. It was cold in the morning, and the hot breath she exhaled quickly turned into a ball of white air next to her mouth.
This made Xiu Xiu even more anxious and irritable. In a flash of lightning, she had already imagined countless bad images in her mind...
"Mom, what's going on? "You should tell me quickly!" Xiuxiu stamped her feet, almost crying, her whole body was tense and stiff, and her heart was beating rapidly.
When Cao Bamei saw Xiuxiu in such a hurry, she thought that she was going to a bad place. Cao Bamei still felt very happy in her heart, because this proved that Xiuxiu was still thinking about her. From my mother's side.
Unlike Li Wei and his son, the passion between relatives is all superficial.
"Xiu Xiu, don't worry, it's okay. Everything at home is fine!"
Cao Bamei quickly gave Xiu Xiu a reassurance.
After hearing these words, Xiu Xiu's complexion softened slightly, and at least her heart stopped beating wildly.
"I came here just to see you and bring you a chicken to replenish your health." Cao Bamei lifted the chicken in her hand and shook it.
"By the way, let me tell you something about the Luo family."
"Okay, let's talk in the kitchen. I'm cooking breakfast. Mom, you can just help me stuff some firewood..."
As soon as Xiuxiu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mother Li.
"Xiu'er, how can you let your mother work? I have to invite your mother to the main room to drink tea!"
"Also, I asked you not to burn breakfast, you are so Why can’t the child take time off? Qiaoer, Qiaoer You can wash your clothes later, cook breakfast first, and leave your mother-in-law to eat together later."
Li Qiaoer at the door of the courtyard responded cheerfully, put down the wooden basin in his arms, turned around and walked back. , but was rejected by Xiu Xiu.
"No, no, no, no, I'm not tired of cooking, let Qiao'er do her own thing!" Xiu Xiu was like a hostess, assigning work to Li Qiao'er.
"My mother is going to help me stuff the firewood and keep warm by the fire. I guess she won't have time to have breakfast here, right mother?" Xiu Xiu asked Cao Bamei again.
Cao Bamei smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, mother-in-law, please stop busying yourself. I came over to talk to my daughter about something and then I have to go back. There is still a lot of trouble at home!"
Mother Li had a regretful expression on her face.
Xiu Xiu then ordered Li Wei: "Take my mother's chickens and take them to the chicken coop in the backyard to pen them up, and then deal with them when they are empty again."
Li Wei looked at the chicken in Cao Bamei's hand. The chicken was very big. It was a hen. The flesh was thick at first glance, and there must be eggs in its belly. This reminded Li Wei of the chicken that Xiuxiu had brought back from her parents' house the day before yesterday. That reed chicken soup.
To be honest, he was embarrassed about some things and did not dare to say them to Xiu Xiu. The best way to eat old hen is to stew it. Never add any accessories when stewing it.
Even if mushrooms are added, the taste is not that pure and strong.
With the addition of gastrodia elata, not to mention, it has a medicinal taste. When the soup is in your mouth, there is a faint bitterness when you taste it carefully.
It affected the taste very much. Although he held his nose and drank three large bowls...
But he still hoped to stew it.
But at that time, Xiu Xiu went to her parents' house to get the reed chicken and Gastrodia elata. It was Xiu Xiu's kindness that helped him relieve his headache.
So he must discuss the old hen brought by his mother-in-law this time with Xiuxiu Na, and make sure it is stewed!
However, on the surface, Li Wei could not immediately reach out to pick up the old hen brought by Cao Bamei just because of Xiuxiu's instructions. On the contrary, he took a step back, waved his hand and said, "Mother-in-law, you come here empty-handed. That’s all. Why bring chickens? Leave such a good thing to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law to replenish their health. They are growing up!”
Li Weiniang also nodded from the side and echoed Li Wei's words: "Yes, yes, you can take this chicken back from your mother-in-law. Our family should give you chickens to eat. No, we don't have many chickens at home, and we want to keep them for Xiu Xiu." Confinement, I can only neglect you, my mother-in-law..."
Li Weiniang's words not only did not make Cao Bamei dissatisfied, but also made Cao Bamei very happy.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just take good care of my embroidery and don't wrong my grandson. Our family is not short of food and drink."
Cao Bamei directly put it in her hand The chicken is stuffed In Li Wei's hand, "Take it to the backyard and lock it up. If you don't want to kill it now, give it some water to drink." I don't know, I looked at Xiuxiu with questioning eyes.
Xiu Xiu waved her hand: "Go, go, I'll go back to the kitchen to talk to my mother."
She took Cao Bamei's arm and entered the kitchen.
Cao Bamei saw that porridge was being cooked in a small pot in the kitchen, and there were half-cut sweet potatoes on the chopping board. It seemed that she was preparing to cook sweet potato porridge.
A small iron pot was also placed on a stove next to the pot table, and a stool was placed next to the stove.
"Mom, put some firewood in the stove for me. I have to put the egg pancakes here first." Xiuxiu pulled up the stool, sat down next to the stove, poured oil into the small pot, and cooked it. There was a sizzling sound.
After Cao Bamei looked around the kitchen, she turned around and sat down at the mouth of the kitchen.
After stuffing a handful of firewood, the mouth of the stove felt warm.
Cao Bamei hugged her knees with her arms and leaned back against the bundle of firewood at the mouth of the stove, but her eyes were looking at Xiuxiu on the side of the small stove.
Cao Bamei has long accepted the matter of Xiuxiu managing the kitchen.
Before, I reminded her openly and secretly not to be so diligent and to take over three meals for the family while she was pregnant, but this girl couldn't listen and even argued with her, saying that cooking was her favorite thing. My son is not troubled or tired, and she feels a sense of accomplishment in preparing meals for the family.
Cao Bamei had no choice but to endure her heartache and turn a blind eye.
"Xiu, are you free today?" Cao Bamei asked.
"What's the matter, Mom? Let's talk about it first, so I can decide whether I will be free or not." Xiu Xiu said without raising her head.
